17 Kwathi sekwedlule amalanga ayisithupha, uJesu wathatha uPhetro loJakhobe loJohane umfowabo kaJakhobe wakhwela labo entabeni ende.+ 2 Sebelapho waguquka isimo phambi kwabo. Ubuso bakhe baqala ukukhazimula njengelanga lezembatho zakhe zangaphandle zabenyezela* njengokukhanya.+ 3 Khonokho nje babona sekuloMosi lo-Elija bexoxa laye. 4 UPhetro wasesithi kuJesu: “Nkosi kuhle kithi ukuba lapha. Nxa ufuna ngingamisa amatende amathathu lapha, elakho lelikaMosi lelika-Elija.” 5 Uthe elokhu esakhuluma, bagubuzelwa liyezi elikhazimulayo. Kwezwakala ilizwi liphuma kuleloyezi lisithi: “Le yiNdodana yami engiyithandayo futhi engiyamukelayo.+ Yilaleleni.”+ 6 Abafundi bathi bekuzwa lokhu bawa bathi mbo phansi ngobuso, besaba kakhulu. 7 UJesu wasesondela wafika wabathinta wathi: “Sukumani, lingesabi.” 8 Bathi bevusa amehlo kababonanga muntu ngaphandle kukaJesu kuphela.

Sebelapho waguquka isimo phambi kwabo,+ 3 izembatho zakhe zangaphandle zaqalisa ukukhazimula, zaba mhlophe nke okokuthi akulamuntu emhlabeni owayengaziwatsha zibe mhlophe kangako. 4 Kusenjalo babona sekulo-Elija loMosi bexoxa loJesu. 5 UPhetro wasesithi kuJesu: “Rabi, kuhle kithi ukuba lapha. Asimiseni amatende amathathu, elakho lelikaMosi lelika-Elija.” 6 Wayeseswele lokuthi athini ngoba uvalo lwaselubabulele. 7 Kwaqubuka iyezi labagubuzela, kwezwakala ilizwi+ liphuma kuleloyezi lisithi: “Le yiNdodana yami engiyithandayo.+ Yilaleleni.”+ 8 Bathi besithi bayakhangela bazibona sebesele loJesu kuphela.
